The Friday, July 25th episode of General Hospital left viewers with a wedding day cliffhanger, and this one is quite complex and twisted! After Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) learned from Curtis (Donnell Turner) that her mother, Nina (Cynthia Watros), was having an affair with Drew (Cameron Mathison) at the same time she was in a burgeoning romance with the guy, and had trashed her marriage to Michael (Rory Gibson), she has the mother of all showdowns with Nina.
Concurrently, Nina was ready to spill the beans to her daughter, but since Curtis got to her first, Nina is now on the receiving end of an emotional tirade from Willow. When Nina showed up at the room in the church where Willow was getting ready, Willow demanded the truth about her mother’s affair with Drew.
Nina finally fessed up making Willow lose it! Nina explained that she first hooked up with Drew in April of last year and that it lasted through August. At the time, she had no idea that Drew was attracted to her daughter. Now, Willow is horrified that while she was falling in love with Drew, he was hitting the sheets (or the Crimson office room floor and desk) with her mother!

Next, Nina tried to explain that she decided not to say anything since she and Willow were finally getting closer and establishing a mother/daughter bond. She explains that she didn’t love Drew and, in fact she they hate each other. In Nina’s mind, she wanted to try and save Willow’s marriage to Michael, by taking Drew out of the equation. However, once she saw how much Willow was falling for Drew, she backed off. Willow snaps back, “You watched as I threw away my marriage and my children for a man you knew was lying to me, and you said nothing?!”
To Nina, as time went on, the more she tried to dissuade her daughter from continuing her relationship with Drew, the more defensive Willow got and she wouldn’t listen to reason. Next, in a pivotal moment, an irate and fractured Willow tells her mother that if she would have been up front with her and told her she had been having sex with Drew, she would have dumped him and never lost her children in the process! Willow adds that she will never forgive Nina for making her lose the custody case for her children.

Coming apart at the seams, Willow is now devastated when the realization hits her that she sacrificed everything to be with Drew and now she has nothing. When Nina tells her she still has her mother, an angry and distraught Willow says that Nina doesn’t have a maternal bone in her body. She adds, “I envy Nelle. She died never knowing you were her mother. I wish I had been so lucky!”
Willow kicks her mother to the curb and out of her room at the church. Next, steely Willow sits in front of the mirror and has a series of flashbacks all the way up to when she told Drew she would marry him with the hopes of gaining custody of Amelia and Wiley.

Inside the church, Nina tells Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) that she is going to leave because there is not going to be a ceremony, but suddenly, the nuptials begin as Scout comes down the aisle, dropping rose petals. After her big moment, she gets a big hug and a kiss from Drew. As everyone awaits for the doors to open to reveal the bride, there is a long pause. Finally, Willow enters the church in her wedding dress. Drew looks happy, Willow looks calculated and Nina has no idea if her daughter will drop Drew at the altar or say her “I do’s!”
Earlier on Friday, TV Insider posted a chat with Cynthia Watros about where Nina thinks Willow is at by the end of today’s episode, “Not only is Nina hurt because she’s no longer in Willow’s life,” Watros shared, “but she’s also hurt because her beautiful daughter is sacrificing herself for her children, which mothers do, but Nina doesn’t feel like she has to do that, that that’s not the path Willow should take. But Willow believes that marrying Drew is the only way.”
